I wish I could remember which of you posted it....
Not too long ago, somebody posted to this board suggesting to respond to the familiar "call it both ways" by asking the accuser if he (or she) was implying that the referees were cheating.
Well, I did just that with a player in a rec league game this weekend, and it stopped her in her tracks. She had this look like she had no idea that the implication came with the comment, and she shut up quick.
Anyway - thanks to whomever!
As a newer ref, I have really gained a ton from following this board. Thanks again!
Joe
